Chapter 10

The Downfall of the Order of the Phoenix

Hermione flew down the stairs to the dungeons as fast as she could. She halted at the door to the potions classroom and threw it open. Draco looked up from his desk and stood up.

"I'll be just a moment, continue reading chapter twenty-two and twenty-three quietly."

He rounded his desk and walked up to Hermione with a quizzical look. He placed his hand on her lower back and guided her out of the room. As Draco closed the door behind him, he heard oohs from the female population.

"What's the matter lovely?" He asked.

She looked frantic and began talking fast. "After you left to go to the classroom, I went upstairs and was met by Ron."

The side of Draco's mouth twitched slightly.

"When I had asked where he has been or 2 years, he stayed silent. He backed me up to the wall and told me that he heard Death Eaters have captured Harry while he was in Africa, and they are some place called La Memori Casa." She blew out a breath.

Draco's brows furrowed

"Is that it? How in the world would he know…unless…no…can't be… I need to alert the order immediately." He replied

"Draco…He p...pinned me up against the wall, b...bound m...my hands and k...ki...kissed m...me…" She stammered but realized something else, "He disapperated out of Hogwarts…"

"Wait, he kissed you?" Draco asked angrily.

"Yes." She whispered.

"That weasel…" He muttered.

"Listen, I need to get back to class. You have this period free, alert the Order, and wait for a reply ok?" She nodded with determination in her eyes.

He smiled

"Merlin, you're gorgeous when you have that look!"

He grinned and grabbed her waist, pulled her to him and kissed her lustfully. He stepped back, smiled and opened the door to his classroom; the girls who had been eavesdropping scattered and took their seats, giggling.

"Ten points from Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff for eavesdropping on the teacher's private conversation." She heard Draco say as he swept back into his classroom.

The portrait to her commons opened and she strode inside, casted her patronus, muttered something and sent it away. She plopped down on her red and gold couch and stared into the fire. She was thankful she had no more classes for the day; it would be easier for her to wait for a reply from the Order. She slumped her shoulders and drifted into sleep.

She sat on the bottom step of the staircase just outside Gryffindor tower "It's just a charm spell…" she muttered.

"I like them, they're really good." Harry replied sitting down beside her.

"Harry, how does it feel (sob) when you see Dean with Ginny?" she asked suddenly.

"Uhm"

She sobbed again

"I see how you look at her Harry, you're my best friend."

She and Harry turned when they heard giggling. Ron and Lavander rounded the corner, Harry sighed.

"I think this room is occupied" She heard Lavander say to Ron and tried to tug him away, but he didn't move.

"What's with the birds?" Ron inquired.

She stood up; fighting back tears, she whispered "Oppungo"

She watched the birds swoop down murderously towards Ron, who sidestepped just in time to see the birds smash into the wall behind him. He gave her one last fleeting look and walked away.

She plopped down letting her tears fall and laid her head on Harry's shoulder crying.

"It feels like this..." Harry answered.

"Ron! Come back, Ron, Ron" she called out into the night after she watched Ron walked away from the tent on the hillside.

She awoke sleepily hearing Harry calling her name. She stood up and walked outside the tent.

"Is everything ok Harry?" she inquired

"Yes just fine, actually more than fine" he answered pointing behind him. She looked out and her heart dropped into her stomach, Ron stood there like he'd never left

"Hey" he said wearily.

She pointed her wand at him furiously.

"You come back after months and all you can say is hey?" she cried and was casting a hex when Harry casted a shield charm between them which caused them both to be thrown back. She stood up and glared at Ron.

"I called for you…Hours I spent outside calling for you, hoping you would return. When you didn't I… What's that?"

She'd noticed the necklace dangling from one of Ron's hands and the sword of Gryffindor in the other.

"I destroyed the Horcrux Hermione" He explained.

She gave him a sour look "This doesn't change anything Ronald." She turned and stalked off back to the tent.

Ron placed the cup onto the floor and coaxed her. She stabbed the cup with the basilisk fang Ron handed her, it felt like it was screaming at her when the fang went into it. Ron grabbed her hand and both of them walked backwards away from the large wave that had just appeared, but wasn't quick enough. The wave of water washed over them. They turned to each other and Ron pulled her into a surprisingly gentle and passionate kiss and she responded, feeling sparks of electricity fly through her body…

"Hermione, Hermione wake up." A male voice called to her.

She jerked out of sleep and rubbed her eyes with her knuckles.

"Hermione, I followed up on the information you sent us. It is true. The African Wizardry Ministry has not seen or heard from Harry. I believe he is truly captured." Arthur said sitting down beside Hermione.

"What are we going to do?" she asked.

"You are going to teach, as is Draco. The Order can handle this Hermione. We have gathered our numbers and are leaving for London in just a moment." Kingsley replied.

She nodded and looked around.

"Where is Draco?" she questioned

"I believe he is giving detention to a few students tonight. Listen Hermione, we will send word as soon as we get Harry to safety. We'll be seeing you." Arthur and Kingsley waved and floo'd out of the room. She leaned her head back onto the back of the couch and sighed.

'What a bizarre dream…major flash back' she thought to herself.

She decided that she would be more comfortable on her bed, so she got up and went to her room.

Everyone froze as they entered La Memori Casa. They hadn't noticed in the dark that many tall figured dressed in black robes, with their hoods up and masked were standing there waiting for them. They had walked into a trap.

The closest figure walked slowly down the stairs holding his wand at the second figure's side, Harry.

"Sa good to see ya all 'ere " The masked figure sneered and chuckles resonated through the hall.

" Silence" He hissed, all fell silent immediately.

"Who are you?" Arthur questioned the man who seemed so familiar.

The hooded figure's dark, sunken blue eyes met Arthur's.

"Enough with the pleasantries." He snarled and kicked Harry across the floor and screamed for the first time in his life...

"Avada Kedavra"

A green flash flew from the tip of the masked man's wand towards Arthur, without hesitation, Kingsley threw Arthur out of the way and was hit full force with the spell, he crumpled to the floor.

"NO!" Arthur screamed and drew his wand on the masked man.

"Who are you Death Eater?" He yelled

The masked man came into the low light of the hall and moved his hand across his face to remove the mask.

Arthur was floored, his eyes grew big, and his heart shattered.

Ron. "R…my…" Arthur stuttered and fell to his knees on the ground crying in his hands. Harry came up and stood beside Arthur.

"Why Ron?" was all he said.

"Revenge. Oh so sweet revenge dear Harry. That pureblood bastard stole the one thing I had left in this world after the battle. She loved me and I her. He took her from me and I will get her back. I will kill him." Ron screamed furiously.

"Go" He hissed and they were surrounded by Death Eaters, all with raised wands.

The Order followed.

Red sparks, green flashes, hexes and jinxes were shouted across the room. A battle broke out around the room.

The Death Eaters greatly outnumbered the Order.

Three Death Eaters took out Bill and injured Arthur to critical condition.

Four Death Eaters overpowered George and broke his wand.

Ron and Harry circled in the middle the battle, wands up.

"Ron, you're my best mate, but what you're doing is stupid and selfish. He loves her and takes care of her." Harry said shakily.

"Take care of her?" He snarled "Who had to save his ass when Lucius captured Hermione? Me and you, nearly getting ourselves killed in the process. Who nearly killed her on the bridge? Draco." His voice was thick and heavy with anger.

"Ron, he was protecting her on the bridge... I won't let you touch her. She's…Hermione is pregnant…" Harry said sounding defeated.

Ron lowered his wand a bit, his eyes wide and full of shock.

"She's three and a half months and having a son. Ron, Draco is madly in love with her mate, I should know, we always talk. Ron, don't ruin their lives because you can't get over her. You messed up your chances and are now blaming it on Draco."

Ron growled.

"Ron look around you" He screamed, fury rising.

"Because of your temper, Your brother is dead!" He pointed in Bill's direction.

"Your father is laying over there bleeding to death, Kingsley is dead, and George is unconscious, bleeding profusely." He pointed around the room, pools of blood lay all around the foyer

"You have broken your family, killed them, all because of your grudge against Draco! I blame you for Bill's death" Harry spat.

Ron glanced around the room; all Death Eaters had long ago stopped fighting when they took the last man down. His eyes raked across Bill's still body, His brother, who would never return to a waiting wife and child.

A single tear fell from his eye and then was quickly wiped away. Raising his wand back at Harry, they resumed circling each other.

"I don't want to kill you mate. My sister needs you when she has James." He voice was softer than it had been previously.

"What do you mean?" Harry looked surprised.

They circled again

"Ginny didn't tell you did she?" Ron half laughed and rolled his eyes.

"Sorry to tell ya mate but Ginny is one week shy of giving birth to her first son, James Sirius." Ron laughed maniacally seeing Harry's shocked face.

"Heh, courtesy of mum for that bit of information. She was none the wiser to my glorious rise." Ron jeered.

"You're lying." Harry whispered and raised his wand,

Ron was quicker. He shot a stunning spell at Harry and sent purple jets, hitting Harry with both. Harry's screeching screams resonated through out the house.

"You do me proud me lord using ma famous spell." Dolohov smirked.

Ron saw George's body stirring.

"Let's go. We've wounded the Order beyond repair, They would never send out their women to fight." Each Death Eater disapperated just as George sat up and his eyes burned into Ron's.

"H..how could you little brother? IO don't... and after they...Fred… and now Bill… will never see..." George whispered

"I did it for the best George, to ensure my future." Ron replied

"Your future? What about ours? What about your brother's,your sister, or mum and dad, your best mate? Don't they deserve happiness as well? You've taken it away Ron, how could you?" George carried on, cried into his blood soaked hands.

"I...George...uhm..." Ron closed his eyes, tears swelled up in his eyes

George was crawling over to his father's limp body in the dark, and heard a loud crack of Ron's disapperation.

George stumbled into the burrow carrying his father's limp body.

"Mum!" George cried and laid his father down on the couch.

Mrs. Weasley burst into the room and ran over to the couch.

"What happened Georgie?"

George shook his head and disapperated.

Ginny ran down the stairs and halted in the living room.

"Mum what's the matter with Dad? Where is Harry and the others?" Ginny inquired, but her mum stayed silent.

Moments later, George apperated back into the sitting room with two limp bodies

… Bill and Kingsley…

Ginny and Molly gasped in unison and both looked over at George, who was silently crying,

He laid the two bodies onto the ground and disapperated again. George returned with a unconscious Harry in his arms and laid him too on the floor.

"What has happened George?" His mum demanded.

George broke down and cried harder.

"Ginny get your father to St Mungo's. I'll deal with Harry here." Molly commanded and kneeled beside her son as Ginny apperated her father.

She rocked her son until his cries became sobs and finally hiccups.

"It was a trap mum." He said finally.

"The Death Eaters were waiting for us they outnumbered us… He killed Kingsley..." George started crying again, he couldn't bring himself to tell his mum that his baby brother was at fault.

Molly rose and bent over Harry, murmured a few words while waving her wand over his body. Harry gasped and came to. He jumped up and growled

"That selfish little fuck, I'll murder him!" Harry screamed, Molly looked bewildered.

She turned to Bill's body and froze, she hadn't noticed at first that it was Bill laying there.

"My William! No! No, no, no Bill!" She lifted Bill's head up and hugged her son's limp cold body, rocking and crying.

"Who did this?" Her voice was rough and full of fury, her eyes murderous when she turned to Harry.

George and Harry looked at each other for a moment and Harry nodded.

George placed his hands on his knees, digging his nails into the skin and said blankly.

"Ron"

Molly's eyes grew big

"No...Our Ron?" She asked weakly.

"He leads them mum…He is gone off the deep end, and he can't be saved, I tried...He doesn't care about anyone or anything but his own selfishness and his obsession over Hermione ." George replied softly.

Molly burst into renewed tears and covered her face in her hands.

"Mum, I'm sorry...I tried..." George started to say. His mother crushed him into an embrace, crying onto his shoulder.

"I should have seen it... I should have...when he came..." Molly stammered and cried harder, grabbing Harry's hand and squeezing it lightly.

"Molly, I know Ron, He'll snap out of it. His temper makes him do stupid things...like join the Death Eaters..." Harry trailed off not really knowing where he was going with that conversation.

"Lets go to see Dad, mum" George said at last.

Ginny waited outside the operating room, pacing around. She felt pain in her side that seemed to travel around from her side around her back and across her lower stomach, she sat down in a chair and sighed. Moments later, Molly and Harry apperated into the lounge.

"Mum!" she stood up and ran to her mom and embraced her tightly.

She stepped back, and her eyes widened.

"Harry!" she cried and embraced him hard, nearly knocking him down.

"Ginny…" He stepped back away from her still holding onto her arm and looked down at her enormous stomach.

"I'm due on Christmas…" She answered his silent question sheepishly.

"Why didn't you-" He embraced her again.

"I know I should have, Harry, I didn't want you to worry while you were in Africa. I'm so sorry."

Her face contorted and she held her side for a few moments, letting the pain pass. "

What's wrong Ginny?" Harry whispered.

She shook her head. "I'm fine Harry."

"What happened out there tonight?" She inquired as Harry guided her down into a chair, sat next to her and began explaining what happed at La Memori Casa.

At first he thought it would be better to leave out Ron, but as his explanation delved further, he had to mention it, which made Ginny gasp. All color drained from her face and she felt sick.

Her own brother, killed.

Ginny hurled herself off the chair onto her hands and knees and began vomiting. Pain shot through her body again, beginning at her side then spreading across her back and other side. She shook and grabbed her stomach with one of her hands.

"Mum!" she cried.

Molly turned to see Ginny on her hands and knees in a puddle of water, mixed with vomit and holding her stomach. Harry looked bewildered.

"Harry!" she said shrilly "Get a Healer, hurry!" she ordered

Harry shot up immediately and ran to the Healer's Station. Molly kneeled beside her only daughter and rubbed circles onto her back soothingly. Four healers ran in and assisted Ginny up and took her to a room.

Molly mouthed to Harry. 'Go with her'

Harry followed.

"Ok hun, I need you to breath in deep again and push on your next contraction" A healer was saying to Ginny.

Harry stood there, holding Ginny's hand and coaxing her like the healer was. Ginny pushed hard

"one, two, three, four, five, six, ok breath Ginny, your doing great! I can see his head already." The healer beamed.

Ginny let out a heavy breath and controlled her breathing before another contraction hit her.

"Again Ginny, push!" The Healer said and began counting again

Ginny cried out in pain as she pushed with every ounce of the will.

"Good Ginny, good. The shoulders are out. On your next contraction, I need you to do one last good push Ginny" The Healer smiled.

Like before, she gathered all her breath and pushed, crying out in pain.

"Good Ginny, good, keep pushing and-"

A baby's whimpering cry filled the room.

"It's a boy! Congratulations!"

The healer guided an oblivious Harry to sever the umbilical cord with a simple severing charm and laid the screaming baby onto Ginny's chest as the healers began cleaning him with charms. Tears streamed down her face when she looked upon her baby boy for the first time.

Harry bent down and kissed Ginny's forehead and looked over at his son.

"Seven and three quarter inch, five pounds three ounces..." The Healer mumbled

James was wrapped in a light blue blanket and a knitted blue hat was placed on his head. The Healer placed the baby into Ginny's arms and left the room. Harry let tears fall as he looked upon his son, James with the famous trademark thick black hair. Ginny gasped.

"Harry look at his eyes!" she beamed at him when he looked closer. Harry's emerald greens were staring up at him, through his son's eyes. Harry cried happily, taking his son in his arms and cuddling him close to his chest.

Molly entered the room wheeling Arthur in, George following behind, Hermione, and finally Draco. Harry sat in a rocking chair quietly whispering to his son while Ginny slept as they entered.

"Harry!" they all chimed in.

Harry smiled and stood up and walked over to them.

"James Sirius Potter" He said.

Molly was the first to hold him; George declined telling them that he really needed to get back to Angelina and the twins. He kissed his sisters cheek, congratulated her and disappeared into the hallway.

Hermione sat quietly in the corner holding Draco's hand tightly.

"Harry, can we speak to you for a moment?" Hermione spoke up.

"Sure. I'll be right back Mrs. Weasley." Harry announced and she nodded, not breaking her staring contest with James.

Harry, Hermione and Draco stepped outside the door and pulled it to.

"It's true isn't it? Ron is leading them." Hermione spoke immediately.

Harry sighed and turned to her. "Yes Ron is a Death Eater. Their leader… He passed you that information, knowing you'd go right to the order about it. He planned it. Though I have to say, He was a bit caught off guard when Draco wasn't with us. He expected it since he was part of the order." Harry explained.

"But why…" Hermione looked over at Draco, who was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest.

"Revenge." Harry whispered.

"He wanted me there so he could kill me." Draco said bluntly.

"Exactly." Harry agreed.

Hermione gasped "It was all my fault…I shouldn't have…"

She was cut off by Harry. "Hermione, don't you ever think you had any fault in this. You did exactly what I would expect from you, You fell in love and It's his fault he can't get over that fact." He smiled at her reassuringly then turned to Draco.

"Listen, keep each other safe Draco, He's targeted you and will stop at nothing to get Hermione back into his life." Harry placed a hand on his shoulder and both nodded to each other.

"Good night Harry, We'll visit as soon as you and Ginny get James home." Hermione said.

"Of course, can't wait!" He beamed at her and walked back into the room. Mr. Weasley was holding James now.

"Harry I want you to know, you don't have to be formal anymore. Your family and as such, you can call us mum and dad if you like." Mrs. Weasley replied softly.

"Mum…" The word felt weird rolling off his tongue, but he liked the idea of finally being able to utter it for the first time.

"Thank you mum." Harry whispered and was pulled into a hard embrace by Molly.

"Congratulations dearie, we'll let you two get some sleep now." Molly whispered, placing James in his bassinette and wheeling Arthur to the door.

"We'll be up on the floor above if you need us Harry." Molly replied.

"Thank you mum, Good night." Harry bade them good bye and plopped down in the chair beside Ginny's bed, laid his head on it and drifted off into sleep.

"Hermione, he will never harm you as long as I am around." Draco replied cuddling close to her body for warmth and reassurance.

"I would die protecting you my love." Hermione whispered, squeezing Draco's hand. There was silence for some time, until Draco spoke

"Good night lovely." He kissed her temple and buried his head in her hair.

"Good night my love" she whispered back.

"You are sure Mrs. Malfoy?" Minerva replied frantically, glancing over at Dumbledore's portrait several times.

Hermione's head nodded in the fire.

Minerva pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed.

"The third coming of the Death Eaters, lead by Mr. Ronald Weasley, this is grave news indeed. Never saw that coming" Dumbledore's portrait responded

"What motive does he have to do such a thing?" Minerva inquired.

Hermione's floating head sighed and replied. "He wants me. He's targeted Draco and seeking blood vengeance"

Minerva shot a look over at Dumbledore and he shook his head disbelievingly.

"I knew from the beginning of first year Mr. Weasley had something dark growing inside of him, I never imagined he would stoop so low to become a Death Eater." Dumbledore replied hastily.

"What are we going to do Albus? He knows Draco is here teaching the students" Minerva replied in a shaky voice.

"We need to alert all teachers and tell them to apprehend him if he shows his face at Hogwarts again."

Minerva nodded.

"I will see you back tomorrow Mrs. Malfoy." Minerva replied and bade her good bye as she popped out the fire.

Hermione tiptoed to her bed and smiled watching the peaceful look of sleep Draco's face showed. He was lying on his back, with one hand behind his head and the other laying across her pillow. She smiled brightly and decided to take a shower.

She went about the room gathering the days clothing and pulled a towel out of the cabinet and tiptoed to the bathroom without closing the door. She turned the shower on and waited for it to warm up then stepped in. She turned her back to the door and began washing her hair.

She jumped when hands snuck around her waist and pulled her back. She closed her eyes and bit her lip when she felt his warm body against her, let out a gasp when he leaned down and left trails of kisses down her neck while guiding himself in. She moaned and relaxed against him as she matched his rhythm. He moaned softly into her ear and nibbled her neck gently, increasing his rhythmic thrusts in to long, hard thrusts causing her to moan louder. She took his hand in hers and her free hand went up behind her and was placed gently on his neck. He squeezed her hand tight and closed his eyes moaning her name softly. The water splashing against them was turning colder.

"Draco" She moaned, wordlessly pleading him.

He let go of her hand, braced his hands in front of her on the shower wall, she did the same as his pace shifted into full force, fast and hard thrusts. They moaned in unison together, their bodies trembled from their release. They stilled, breathing heavily, he pulled away and she turned around.

"Good morning Mrs. Malfoy." He said, a smile creased his lips.

She giggled.

"Good morning Mr. Malfoy."

He slipped his body into the water and washed his hair and then his body, as she did the same. They stepped out of the shower and he kissed her lips softly.

"I love you." He said with a large wide smile.

"I love you to my love."

She giggled again when he slapped her bum as she had bent down to towel her legs off.

He walked to the bedroom stark naked and grabbed some clothes and came back into the bathroom and grabbed her towel she had laid on the sink and began toweling off while she dressed.

"Love, I will see you at school ok." She said and disapperated when he nodded.

"Welcome back everyone, I hope you have had a good Christmas?" Hermione walked over to the board and waved her wand over it.

Hedgehog-Pincushion

Wave wand left, circle around twice to the right and flick three while chanting

Ericius Acvasum

"Please join into pairs and grab a hedgehog, gently off my desk and practice this spell." Hermione said returning to her desk to grade papers from her fourth year's class.

The hour past quickly while Hermione walked around her class, helping a few second years that accidently turned their hedgehogs pink and green instead of into a pincushion.

"If you would please return the pincushions back to hedgehogs and replace them on my desk you can leave." She called to the class and sat back down at her desk.

The students did what was asked and then filed out of the classroom.

"Mmm. Mrs. Malfoy is sexy." Came a voice from the door.

Hermione looked up from the papers she was grading and smiled

"Hello Mr. Malfoy, what brings you to my class this afternoon?" She asked innocently.

"I heard from the guy down the hall that Mrs. Malfoy is so sexy it distracts him from class."

Hermione snorted.

Draco smirked and strolled into the classroom, closing the door behind him and muttered "Defigio" and strode up the aisle to Hermione's desk.

He leaned against it, and she looked back up at him. "Yes love?" She teased.

He grinned and rounded behind her, kissing her neck. She placed a hand on his neck, closed her eyes and leaned her head exposing more of her neck to him. He tucked her hair behind her ear and nibbled her earlobe softly. A moan escaped her lips and he grinned. She stood up and turned around to face her husband.

He pressed his lips into hers, exploring the inside of her mouth. He picked her up around her bum and sat her down on the edge of her desk and ran his fingers up her skirt and across her knickers, not once breaking the kiss. She moaned behind his lips allowed him to explore her body as she unbuttoned his trousers, unzipped them and pulled them down. Her fingers brushed against his hardened member when she yanked his pants down, it caused him to close his eyes and moan softly. He wrapped his arms around her back and guided in.

She unbuttoned his shirt and dug her nails into his shoulders, commanding his pace quicken and he obliged. He raked his nails lightly down her back which made her arch into him and moan. He bit into her neck softly and it threw her into early release. She cried his name and he bit his lip, feeling her walls clamp and vibrate around him. His thrusts into her became hard and erratic. One long last thrust into her, he cried out and released hard, causing a now very sensitive Draco to moan and his body to shake. She smiled and kissed his lips softly.

"I can't believe we just did that…" Draco heaved

Hermione laughed as he pulled back and cleaned them with a simple Tergeo and Scourgify spell. They dressed and he kissed her.

"I'll be seeing you tonight lovely, Ginny owled me and they're home." He replied

"Ok love see you then." She smiled and he walked to the door, muttering "Effringo" and opening the door. He looked over his shoulder and smirked,

she had returned to grading papers.
